0234 Future growth pathway
The separation of men and horses was quite successful.
. R's research is indeed correct, most of the nightmare knight's mana consumption is used to form a special magic resonance force field.
This is also the reason why Nightmare Knight's defense is so high.
If the basic concept is correct, then it means that there is a great possibility that their subsequent advanced research theory is also correct.
For example. R thinks that it is possible to 'disassemble' the knight and make it into various different parts with different abilities. According to the needs of the current battlefield, each component is combined to customize the current battlefield or battle, and even more parts can be prefabricated and 'replaced' in the battle to achieve more flexible tactical changes.
The more Hardy thought about it, the more excited he became, if this theory was correct, then the nightmare knight who would incarnate himself in the future, with a pair of propulsion wings and magic thrusters on his back, a magic shield in his left hand, and a magic energy long-range attack weapon in his right hand, wouldn't he become a humanoid mobile knight?
Sure enough, is the end of melee O Da?
Hardy's incarnate Nightmare Knight sighed and suppressed his excitement.
He is now an iron bump, can only make one movement, and actually has no breathing function.
He walked back to the Nightmare War Horse, looking at this Nightmare with a height of nearly three meters, the other party's red eyes did not like to move, and it seemed that there was no autonomy.
But from the experiment just now, Hardy already knew that the nightmare is not only self-conscious, it can even listen to its own words.
Hardy reached out, gently stroking Nightmare's head for the first time like the other cavalrymen.
Because of the armor, the feel of the nightmare's head is very hard.
But it seems to feel Hardy's feelings, and the nightmare has always been round, and his red eyes are actually half-narrowed.
"Seems kind of cute."
Lady Sissi whispered from the side.
Personally, she's actually a little scared of nightmares.
The huge size is at the level of a fierce beast, and the most important thing is that the dark magic on the nightmare is very chaotic and a little violent, unlike the dark magic on Hardy's body, which is stable and thick.
Besides, she is a priest, and she has the magic of light in her body, and she does have some instinctive disgust with the dark magic of this sense of disorder.
It's just that now seeing the nightmare in front of Hardy, like a puppy that has been pampered by its owner, her fear of the nightmare has dropped a lot.
Now that the separation has been successful, and Nightmare does have an independent will of his own, Hardy is ready to begin testing a third experiment.
Magical abilities enhanced.
According to. R's statement that after becoming a Nightmare Knight, his magic ability should not decrease, but should increase.
Hardy reached out and grabbed into the air, and the black magic transformed into a long black lance.
With a move of mind, the lance became a long, transformed, two-handed sword.
"It's a lot easier." Hardy subconsciously muttered to himself.
In Riding Mode, it is most convenient to turn mana into a riding gun, and it is not impossible to convert it into other weapons, but it takes more mana and it takes a lot of effort.
It's not at all as easy as it is now.
Why is there such a big difference between the magic power that transforms into a riding spear in mount mode and the transformation into a long sword?
This is just what confirms. R's argument is correct, because the magic of the two interferes with each other, forming a strange inner resonance of magic, which increases the defense of knights and horses in disguise, but also increases the difficulty of casting spells.
In this case, the riding spear is very easy to conjure.
Because it's preset, it's a basic customization, and to put it more simply, it's a class talent skill.
Understood this way, things are much simpler.
This is also a problem that Hardy needs to solve now.
Mana resonance, causing Nightmare Knight's defense to be too high.
Both physically and magically.
Previously, Nightmare Knight had a weakness of insufficient resistance to 'Light Mana', but since the Goddess of Light helped him comb his body, this weakness of low light resistance is gone.
Too much overflow of survivability is actually not necessary, just enough.
And it is more practical to transform those overflowing defensive capabilities into offensive capabilities.
After all, offense is the best defense most of the time.
Hardy began to think about how to reduce the magical interference between himself and the nightmare.
Separation of people and horses is only the simplest of them.
Nightmares have a decent attack and can be used as a defense to protect dismounted knights.
Hardy, on the other hand, can be used as a plate mage for turret-style output.
But there's a big problem, and in this way, it's a bit of a waste of Nightmare's ability to maneuver.
After all, this special Demon Realm War Horse has excellent endurance while not being bad at speed.
If you can cast a spell on horseback, you can attack the enemy with a spell while running...... As long as the magic power is enough, it seems possible to destroy an army of 10,000 people.
Of course, after the Nightmare Knight reaches the legendary level, he also has a good spell casting ability.
But after relying on his own strength, he rushed away, broke through the interference of magic resonance, and realized low-level spellcasting.
On the other hand, if the magic resonance of the two sides is not so strong, their own defense does not need to be so high...... In other words, if you want to be high, you can go low, and you can adjust it freely......
That's what Hardy wants most.
But how can you reduce the magic resonance between yourself and the war horse?
Generally speaking, the strength of the mana resonance is directly related to the strength of the mana output.
In the state of unity of man and horse, it is inevitable, and the magic of the two will collide.
If it was so easy to avoid magical resonance, the Nightmare Knights of the past and present would have been good at spellcasting.
Hardy couldn't think of it himself, but he felt that he could solve the problem for himself with the help of the wisdom of a genius.
So during this time, in addition to his routine inspection of military affairs, he spent the rest of his time studying the books he got back.
Because his magic foundation is not very good, many of them involve high-level magic, as well as theoretical content, which is very hard to read.
It's very painful to understand the contents little by little.
Learning is inherently painful.
It's anti-human.
Only those who have overcome this pain can truly learn.
During this time, the Northern Army was frightened by Hadi's heavy cavalry corps, and after retreating five kilometers, it was directly stationed in the same place, and did not dare to attack for more than ten days.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, the newly-born Rommel royal family showed the efficiency of the 'dictator'.
Not only did they send nearly 10,000 infantry regiments to the city of Kethiran, but even the Central Front and the Western Front each sent thousands of reinforcements.
And Hardy met with the young general who had come to reinforce him, Sandel Hogg.
When the young man saw Hadi, he bowed and saluted, showing great respect: "Your Excellency Hadi, on the orders of King Rommel, I have come to reinforce the city of Cxiland, and I am at your command. ”
